Rosh Hashanah Pilgrimage

Israeli Child Found Safe in Uman

A young boy became separated from his family during the annual Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to the Ukrainian city, where tens of thousands gather at the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

Seven-Year-Old Israeli Child Reunited with Parents After Going Missing in Uman

Israeli police operating in Uman, Ukraine, successfully reunited a seven-year-old boy with his parents on Thursday after he became separated from his family during the massive Rosh Hashanah gathering in the city.

An Israeli citizen approached the police team with the child, explaining that he had found the boy who had lost contact with his parents. Officers conducted a thorough interview with the child, who police said was confused and frightened. After carrying out all necessary procedures and questioning people in the area, the police were able to locate the boy's parents. The relieved child was returned to his family, who expressed gratitude to the Israeli police personnel deployed in Uman.

The incident occurred during the annual pilgrimage of Breslov Hasidim to Uman ahead of Rosh Hashanah. Each year, tens of thousands of Hasidic followers and visitors travel to the Ukrainian city to pray at the gravesite of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the movement's founder, during the holiday period.

Israeli police maintain a special deployment in Uman during this time to assist the large Israeli community that gathers there. The teams handle a variety of incidents and situations, including helping locate missing persons, addressing various problems, and maintaining order and security throughout the pilgrimage period.
